Executive Director Gene Seroka, during a media briefing, said: “The Port of Los Angeles moved nearly 2 million containers in July and August combined.
“That’s the best two-month stretch for any port in the Western Hemisphere. Retailers and manufacturers have continued to bring goods in early, both to get ahead of holiday demand and to hedge against any shifts in trade policy.
“Looking forward, I expect container volumes to ease through the rest of 2025—especially against last year’s unusually high benchmarks.
“That’s because much of the year-end holiday cargo has already arrived. And economic signals like slowing job growth and lingering inflation are making both importers and consumers a bit more cautious.”
